Barnardos Community Adolescent Programs (CAP)
Case management and practical support helping young people, particularly those leaving foster/kinship care, with independent living, housing, education and employment.
CAP works with young people in Canberra on building independent living skills, and pathways into education, training and employment. It includes case management for young people in foster care, housing options for those transitioning from care, aftercare support for 18-25 year olds who were previously in out-of-home care, Continuum of Care subsidy payments for 18-21 year olds leaving foster/kinship care, and the Transition to Independent Living Allowance (TILA) for 15-25 year olds leaving care.
